Intertwined.

This project is about my children’s special bond with each other and my personal experience as a mother.7 years ago, I have become a mom of triplet girls. Since their birth, I have lived with the feeling that I am not enough because three of them need a mom at the same time. If I hug one, the other two beg for my attention too. Psychologists explain it as “twin rivalry”. I often forget about myself and violate my personal boundaries while trying to give same amount of time and affection to each daughter, and keep the house is order. We merge into a single organism.The girls are very close and have an incredible bond with each other. It’s hard for them to separate even for a short period of time. Possibly, this is still influenced by other people in their life for whom they are “triplets”, they are confused and perceived as one. Passers-by on the street, teachers in kindergarten, coaches, and neighbours address them as “triplets”, without distinguishing them and seeing their own personalities.By taking self-portraits with my children, I slow down and look at us more closely from the outside, perhaps even feel and live those moments again. Through photography I capture moment that left in the past, but I can remember and live it again by looking at the photo. This way I document our life and get a therapeutic effect from the process.
